Hockey Night: Pens at Islanders

The Pens travel to the Island tonight to take on the Isles in the first of a stretch of 9 straight division games. Tonight's contest features an unusual twist as former Isles coach Al Arbour will be behind the bench to coach his 1500th game. The Isles will also be wearing their white jerseys so as not to confuse the old man. Don't worry though, Ted Nolan will also be behind the bench so we'll still be able to see him bitching to the refs about Crosby.


Nolan thinks this dude took a dive

This will be an interesting game for the Pens. They're coming off an extremely disappointing loss to Colorado and now they have to play an Isles team that is coming off a big 4-0 win over Tampa Bay. It's always interesting to see how they play at the Nassau coliseum, a building they've historically struggled in. No word yet on the starting goalie but I think you start Fluery in this game. I ran into Mr. Obvious yesterday and he had this to say "One thing is for sure: the rest of the offense needs to start scoring some goals. It's nowhere near panic time, but the sooner the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lines start producing the better off the team will be." Mr. O knows hockey.

Hopefully Whitney can play. We need him on the power play.
Can't wait for the puck to drop in this one... gotta get that rocky mountain oyster taste out of our mouths
